Hello All,
I am looking at putting on new shocks and springs on my 1984 S and was wondering what the group thinks is a good combination and where you can get the components at a good price

First step is to identify what you seek, such as:
1. A ride like new
2. A ride that will allow more "sporty" driving with some loss of ride comfort.
3. A ride that provides much better driving with a much less ride comfort
4. A ride specific to autocross, canyon driving or track performance, etc.
5. What is your budget, or don't you have one
Just my thoughts....

Stan,
What category is a Bilstien/Eibach setup? That's what I have. I'm happy with these but I don't have a comparison.

Quote from another thread;
FYI, the Bilstein/Eibach setup from 928INTL is essentially a new OEM "Sport" suspension, with a slight (sometimes not noticable) increase in spring rates. The shocks are OEM 928 "Sport".

I wasn't sure, but seems like Brad did some research

I have Bilstiens/Eibachs on my car......harsh over slow speed bumps but handle very well at high speeds. so much so you start to notice the good or bad tyres you have 
comparison is to OEM springs and shocks.
